Q 



HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE 



The Bible is preeminently "The Book of Books/' the 
one book forever outshining all other books in the literary 
firmament, as the Sun outsplendors all the planets that move 
in their orbits forever around him. And yet this very book 
is shamefully neglected, even by those who profess to love 
it. Christian parents not only neglect the study of the 
Bible themselves, but what is as bad, they neglect to teach 
it to their children. Paul said to Timothy : "From a child 
thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to 
make thee wise unto salvation/' But where is the child 
to-day who knows the holy scriptures ? Our children are 
taught the languages, even the dead languages, the arts 
and the sciences, but the "One Great Book" is neglected 
everywhere. 

There are many reasons as high as heaven why we 
should study the Bible as we do no other book in the 
world, (i) It is God's book, and God's only book. (2) 
It reveals the origin, the mission, and the destiny of the 
human race, and it is the only book that does. (3) It 
contains the Great Plan of Salvation, wrought out in the 
life work of the "Sinless Son of God." (4) It is the 
medium of all spiritual light, for "Thy word is a lamp 
unto my feet, and light unto my path." (5) It is the basis 
of all divine faith, for thus saith Paul: "So then faith 
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (6) 
It is the one book that will be open at the great Judgment 
Bar of God. "And I saw the dead, the great and the 
small, standing before the throne: and books were

opened: and another book was opened, which is the book 
of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which 
were written in the books, according to their works." 
Surely vital and eternal issues are involved in the study of 
this old book. 

"How to Study the Bible," as here used, applies to the 
system of outlines contained in this little book. For Bible 
Drills and Bible Readings, where it is desired to cover the 
entire scope of the Sacred Record in a short time, one of 
the lesson outlines may be assigned for a week's study. 
In this way the class can cover all of Bible history in 
fifteen weeks. Taking the introductory lesson and the 
lesson on "General Questions," it will require seventeen 
weeks. This serves as a splendid foundation for a more 
careful and critical study of the Bible in its details. To 
know this system of outlines thoroughly gives one a gen- 
eral knowledge of the Book and its contents, and renders 
the study of it both pleasurable and profitable. 

The questions (page 24 to page 45) are intended to 
suggest the line of thought and study. The teacher should 
not limit himself to this list of questions, but should ask 
questions freely on all subjects. The student in looking 
up references for answers to questions should not be satis- 
fied to read the verse or verses, or even the chapters, indi- 
cated, but should read the connections and the marginal 
references, and investigate the subject as thoroughly as 
possible. This will enable him to answer other questions 
which the live teacher will be sure to ask. 

For prayer meetings or home study, where it is desired 
to go through the Bible in one year — fifty-two weeks — the 
following plan is suggested: 

Lesson 1 — "Concerning Names" and "Concerning 
Writers."

These outlines do not equally distribute the reading 
matter. Some lessons will be much longer than others, 
because it requires much more reading on some subjects 
than on others. If desired, the capable teacher can still 
further divide these outlines and convert them into a two 
years' reading course. 

Each student should be provided with some good refer- 
ence works : a good English Dictionary, a Bible Dictionary 
or Encyclopedia, a good Bible Geography and Concord- 
ance. 

For study on Lessons No. 1 and No. 14, "All About 
the Bible" (price $1.00) and "Between the Testaments" 
(price 75 cents), by Fleming H. Revell Company, Chicago, 
will be found very valuable.

He supposed that the king was riding on this beast, and 
broke through the line of guards, ran under the elephant 
and thrust his sword into the beast's body, killing the beast 
and himself, with many others. 23. With a small army he 
soon rescued Jerusalem from the Syrians. He cleansed 
the Temple and reestablished the divine worship. He had 
five splendid victories in rapid succession. 24. He finally 
fell on the battlefield with his back to the ground and his 
face to the enemy. 25. Jonathan. 26. Jonathan sent John 
with the women and children beyond the Jordan while he 
pushed the war for independence. The Arabs treacherously 
slew John, thus violating their first law to "show kindness 
to strangers." 27. He was led into a trap by Tryphon the 
great "king maker," and thus became a prisoner. Tryphon 
promised to release him on the receipt of a large sum of 
money. The ransom money was sent by Simon, his brother.
